Blogger Offers ‘Proof’ Donald Trump Didn’t Mock a Reporter’s Disability
A recurring theme for Democrats—and even more than a few conservatives—is that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump mocked the disability of a New York Times reporter.
But the blogger Catholics4Trump says it has the true story that the mainstream media has been hiding from Americans. You can read the entire post here, but here’s the gist of their argument:
What the media did not choose to show you was video of Serge Kovaleski. Notice how the media only showed and still shows photos of him. This was done for a reason. As it turns out, Kovaleski’s disability is a congenital condition called arthrogryposis. Arthrogryposis causes restricted movement in the joints but does not cause spasms or uncontrolled moving of the limbs like cerebral palsy does.
To show the depths of the deceit, one CNN reporter explained, while displaying a still photo of him, that Kovaleski, “suffers from a chronic condition that impairs movement of his arms.” Again, the implication is that Kovaleski can’t control his arms from moving. To the contrary, Kovaleski appears perfectly calm when giving interviews. Thus, if Trump truly wanted to mock Kovaleski’s disability, he would have had to stand perfectly still with a flexed right hand and not flail his arms.
